Drivers in London hit by almost 10 million fines over past year
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"A record-high of nearly 10 million fines were issued to London drivers last year in what experts claim to be a money-making exercise. A total of 9,462,185 Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) were given out in 2024, new data from London Councils, a collective of the capital's 32 boroughs and the City of London Corporation, reveals. This represents a 13.6 per cent increase in total parking-related PCNs sent out from 42,192 in 2023-24 to 47,935 in 2024-25."
The Independent covers issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, producing investigations and documentaries such as 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet avoids paywalls and asks for donations to fund reporters and keep journalism available to all. London authorities issued a record-high 9,462,185 Penalty Charge Notices in 2024, according to London Councils. That figure marks a 13.6% increase in parking-related PCNs and reflects rises in moving-traffic tickets. The fines were issued by the London Lorry Control and Transport for London for parking, bus lane and moving traffic breaches. The AA president called the enforcement a money-making exercise.
